Ristorante Carmine

Ristorante Carmine Review

Everybody pitched in, so the story goes, when chef Carmine Cozzolino left his job at an upscale restaurant in Aoyama and opened this unpretentious neighborhood bistro in 1987: friends designed the logo and the interior, painted the walls (black and white), and hung the graphics, swapping their labor for meals. The five-course dinner (¥3,990-¥5,250) here could be the best deal in town. The menu changes weekly; specialties of the house include risotto primavera and Tuscan-style filetto di pesce (fish fillet) parmigiano. The wine list is well chosen, and the torta al cioccolata (chocolate cake) is a serious dessert.
